The 20 Best Organic Foods

Walk
into an average grocery store and you face a choice—47,000 choices of products,
actually. And their labels advertise terms such as low fat, high fiber, free
range, and organic. Some matter, some don’t. But those labels aren’t even the
most confusing part: Many scientists say organic is more nutritious than
conventionally grown food, while others say it’s not. The back and forth is
enough to make us “eat what’s available when we’re hungry and try not to think
too much about it because it’s all so disheartening and confusing,” writes Maria
Rodale in her new book, Organic
Manifesto. Sadly, not buying organic food is a mistake that you—as a
man—can no longer afford to make. According to new studies, eating organic foods
can help you build more muscle and burn more fat, not to mention protect the
environment from harmful pesticides and increase your chances of siring healthy
offspring (sons in particular). Here are 20
top organic foods to get you started. Add them to your grocery list to upgrade your diet,
strengthen your body, and help heal the
planet.
